I challenged myself to take a photo a day for a month with her using my iPhone – just simple, memorable photos… whether or not I had put makeup on or had changed out of pj’s. Being a busy working mom I knew it might be difficult to keep up with the challenge but I wanted to give it my best.

Now, a little over a month later, I feel like I’ve done pretty well. Some of them I took of the two of us and some Mr. H took of us. Some are smiley pictures and others have Baby H grabbing at my face and really noticing me (those are my favorite!). Yes, I missed a day here and there. If she was already in bed and we hadn’t gotten a picture for the day I just made sure I remembered to get a picture the next day. At the end of it all I have a compilation of 30 “Baby H and me shots.” I have a separate folder for them within the photo app on my phone so at any time (especially when I’m missing her terribly while I’m at work!) I can scroll through all of these great pictures of her and I together!

Will I keep up with taking a picture each and every day after this? Probably not. But it definitely got me in the habit of making sure I was in the picture with her. If you feel like you’re never taking pictures of you and your LO together, I encourage you to challenge yourself – whether it be daily, weekly or monthly pictures together – make an effort to ensure your face is smiling right next to theirs (and this comes from someone who hates having her picture taken!).
